Although these people have their various flaws and dark sides, these negative aspects make them appear more real. They are just some people like you and me, trying to pursue a better life by immigrating. In any case, in exchange for the legal residence of the “Great World” pass, they are struggling between moral and immoral, loyalty and betrayal, hell and heaven, and desperation and justice.
Here comes an interesting question: is person a person? When you are born, you are British person, American person, Indian person, Chinese person, etc. If we remove the label “American”, you are just a “person”. If we plus “America”, you have an extra credit to mark yourself. However, at the same time, you are also one step far away from the essence of “person” which can be divided by the nation labels. The conflicts between religious traditions and moral liberation, economic protection and cheap labor force, integrity police and corrupt officials are all happening under the US national flag. Perhaps the country is only a concentrated expression of all these contradictions. Either people choose coming here or leaving here, they are just choosing something called “hope”.
The United States is a place where many people want to go. Before they get the green card, everyone has to worry about being forced to leave someday. While looking for jobs, salaries, medical cares, etc., whether or not you have a green card have a huge disparity. At the end of the film, the lucky people who vowed to become new citizens of the United States under the giant Stars and the Mexican female corpse who died on the road of smuggling formed a series of shocking and contrastive pictures. At that moment, I felt my body is trembling. I realize that freedom, vitality and creativity will only be fostered in a tolerant place, and only an open society can be confident, attractive and cohesive. Please don’t forget that immigrants have always contributed to the prosperity of US powers. If the Statue of Liberty is their last spiritual belief, please don't let these people who worship her devoutly become the sacrifice and die in the path of pursuing their dreams.
种族、文化、冲突、融合,多线叙事且相互穿插,无法不与《撞车》联系在一起,不过两片侧重点不同,《撞车》是内部矛盾问题,本片更像其前传;片子看得很难受,难道这就是寄人篱下的后果?!代价太大……“既然你主张宣扬正义,这就是需要付出的代价,只要有人想来,就该张臂欢迎!“伊斯兰女孩演技真棒
其实我越看这电影,越觉得其他国家混蛋,你八竿子打不着的人偷渡到美国来被欺负了,美国人还拍部电影表示同情,怎么样也够仁至义尽了,各位还要说美国怎样怎样。就好像有人说美国自由民主如何虚伪如何缺点多多,这混蛋逻辑就是,他们虽然比我们好,但是不是完美地,所以不用羡慕,不用学习。
大益或大财,或成为祖国的敌人。

移民的生存现状。不过主题还是简单的归结到了选择的问题上
两件事情尤其值得探讨,底线,愿意为自由的意志和言论付出的代价。那个说出皇帝没穿衣服的人,究竟结果怎么样了呢
补档:2010年国庆 扬州迎宾馆 HBO
通过几个人物的故事探讨美国移民政策,有模仿前几年类似题材影片《撞车》的痕迹,但比《撞车》差一些,没有突破。对美国移民政策的反思值得肯定,为了一张美国绿卡,有人死去、有人入狱、有人被驱逐,当然也有人如愿以偿。
为了今后的生活,各种努力,无论什么渠道。王德彪们一定喜欢此片。
当年看感觉一般,多年后重看却觉得很不错,拍的蛮好,尤其今天这种问题对老美非常尖锐,另外爱丽丝伊芙几场大胆的戏拍的也好,不知道完整版是不是有更大胆的画面,
美国的法律很多时候让人觉得怪怪的,它一切都围绕人来走的,他们可以公然颂扬因为恻隐而放过违法行为,但是对人性中恶意的一面却毫不留情。当然我们的法律也很奇怪,可以杀人不偿命,只要你爸叫李刚。
其实这就是揭露某国整治黑暗还有移民为题的。其实为了更好的生活你所要付出的也许是常人的无数倍。哈里森福特已经那么苍老了,哎
他们的泪和笑,只为了到一个伟大的国家开始他们的美国梦。感动是很廉价的情感,我从这部电影中得到不少。但片中的善良、正直,都不得不让人佩服。从移民的各个角度来还原移民,加上不少戏剧化的冲突,是一部好电影。
政治教育片,我不知道什么样的人会喜欢看这类电影,美国人?可能那些经历了千辛万苦来到美国的人才会深有感触吧。移民,我是没奢望了。只求天朝越来越好,能活着就行了。
剧情很丰满,各类人物的刻画也不错.只是由于人物众多, Ford大叔的戏份感觉就弱了,作为主线沒那么明显吧.作为眼见过为了留在国外奋斗的各种方法的同学...很有感触的片子. 5分5分~
看了无数个关于这样的绿卡的电影了~~ 不过既然你到了美国是不是就该遵守那里的法律 即便你不喜欢 ~~ 上帝给了每个人生存的地方 给了你生存的区域 既然你选择改变 就要承受痛苦~~无聊的移民电影 对于里面小女孩的观点 不支持 对恐怖分子确实不应该理解 她的家人只不过是为了她的年少轻狂付出了代
和《撞车》与《通天塔》一样的多线交叉叙事,个人一直都比较喜欢这种叙事风格,结局也没走大团圆的套路,算是比较高明的一招。不过主题看起来像是给美国绿卡打广告来着,美国就是好啊,头破血流也要挤进去
朝向crash。却驾驭的不怎么地。个中酸甜。只有移民者才会有共鸣吧。
一向不喜欢由多个小故事构成的电影,仿佛失去了电影长片本身的意义,对移民的题材挖掘得也并不深入,更像一部美国人自恋的片子
很难得的好片啊。人人都为了那张绿卡拼搏,眼看那卡都触手可及却又遥不可及。不能犯一点错,不能言论自由。
